Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 24, 2017

So he has at least one parent?

Thorp on on Sunday?

There’s so much action in this strip they could no longer cram it into only 6 days a week

Another topical storyline with a yute the victim of teen angst. I’m looking forward to seeing the aliens probing for new subjects after their Summer sabbatical. Hah! Hah! Enjoy this Milford Billboard All Time Top 40 hit.

P-1: Gill teaches the QB how to throw a screw ball. No one will expect that.

P-2: Uncle’s obscure reference to Freddie and the Dreamers

P-3: Heartsie for Bearwku

P-3: Mom asks as the table shifts

So the uncle-perhaps fathers brother?-wants to be the kids manager and sign him to a contract where the agent-the uncle, designated current bad guy-gets 75% and the kid gets 25%? That appears to be the Cliff Notes version of this story arc

Is this a change in the strip’s publication practice, or did someone label the Monday strip as “9/24” by mistake?

Mmm, a big bowl of porridge. Make mine “just right”, please? (Ditto the surprise at seeing a new strip here today. Wha? Did I sleep through Saturday?)

Is that his mother or his aunt?

Gil, served rare on a Sunday

Uncle Gary was once the agent for the Von Trapp’s, lo these many years ago…

AARRRRGGHHH………….. too confusing!!!!
